High School Revenge
An older writer is going out with a high school senior who made valedictorian. She’s not much of a speech writer, so she has him write her speech. At first he’s reluctant, because he hated high school and all the rituals involved with it, but then he realizes that this is the perfect opportunity for him.
On graduation day, he gleefully observes the audience of aghast parents and educators as his girlfriend delivers an articulate-beyond-her-years scathing indictment of everything having to do with high school, compulsory education, and artifical societal rituals.
Since this is a Hollywood movie, there is a long silence after her speech. Then everyone bursts into wild cheers and applause.
